Circulated 2011 50p with Olympic sailing design. The Royal Mint issued twenty-nine 50p coins to commemorate the 2012 Summer Olympics hosted in London. The designs for these coins were chosen via a public competition which received 30,000 submissions. The sailing design was submitted by Bruce Rushin, who had previously designed the British Two Pound Coin in 1997. Rushin chose sailing as he wanted to depict a sport that Team GB had been in successful in before and incorporated the coastal shape of Chesil Beach and Portland Bill which is where the 2012 Olympic sailing events would take place. The reverse depicts the sailing design from Rushin. Three sailors and boats, one centred and the other two behind going into the distance to the left of the design. The bottom third of the coin has lines representing the sea and waves, the upper two third has a grid, and to the top right is the coastal shape of Chesil Beach and Portland Bill. Above is the 2012 Summer Olympics' Logo and below are the worlds '50 PENCE'. On the obverse is Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of Her Majesty the Queen. The 2011 Sailing 50ps are struck in cupronickel alloy to standard Fifty Pence piece specifications (weight: 8.00 grams, diameter: 27.30 millimetres). 1,749,500 of these coins entered circulation. The photograph for this listing is a stock image, and coin you will receive will be in comparable condition and as it was circulated will be much like the coins you find in your change.
